Got the rear axle/hub/drop-out inserts sorted.Inserts of the head tube and cranks are done as well.

The Shock that's gonna play adjustable seat post controller, is pretty much there as well.It still needs a bit of work on the electronics side, but that's no big deal.

I badly want to modify the RockShox Revelation Dual Air, but time will have to permit that.It needs electronic ride height adjustment, and a carbon bridge, if not simply carbon lowers. 20mm through axle is on the list too, but I guess that goes without saying.

The adjustable head angle headset, seems to be pretty high on the todo list as well.

The attached pics are all old by now. I will try to sort a couple of current project pics.

Yesterday and till this morning, Montreux, Switzerland, now in Geneva airport together with an associate on my way to Madrid, Spain, have a meeting there, then onwards to Valladolid, Spain, for a cadaver lab test. Back to Montreux the day after, maybe pass by Düsseldorf, Germany on the way back home Sunday.

If you need anyone to test out the Carbon DJ frame on some bigger hits, let me know. I'm your man.

Hey Moosey,

As I make stuff exclusively for my own amusement, the testing of the stuff I make, is 99% lab tests.If the part in question will stand up to my level of abuse, it's approved, as nobody else is ever going to ride it(besides that, I'm on the other side of the pond, but I guess you knew that).

Mag,I've dabbled a bit in composites, but never CF ... Curious what adhesive you are using at the headtube joint.Brand/Formulation ?

In this application, the adhesive could be just about anything epoxy based, as it's not a part of the structure, but merely holding things in place during stratification. So the short answer, an isotropic epoxy with a pot life of like at least an hour.As I recall, the one I used here, is Hysol 9464.

Just wow! I love how you say "or simply carbon lowers" - barely a weekend project. Us mere mortals just sit in the back, sip our tea and observe with eyes wide open and a great respect for the master.

haha this is pretty much me, too.

In fact making carbon lowers, would pretty much be a weekend project. I'd say 3 days would do, given I could find 3 days in a row for it that is Making something like that, is not all that complicated. If made on positive moulds, even the moulds would be pretty simple and straight forward.

It'll have to do for now ....cause I'm somewhat swamped in work.The fork project isn't dead though, just sleeping.I had a look at it as late as 2 days ago.Looking unfortunately does not seem to cause much progress.
